Surprise
November 29, 2011
Though I had heard,
I couldn’t believe,
So I clung to the one last thread of my sanity.
I told him what happened;
I pretended I was fine.
But the anger in his voice
Reflected the sorrow in mine.
So the score goes up
To what is now number four;
I flinch at the creak of a stair
And every knock of the door.
